THE COMPETENT COACH – coaching philosophies and types of coaching is part of the SUP Coach symposium (Thursday 1st, (8AM – 12 PM)

This topic explores whether your coaching style is aligned with your coaching philosophy and looks at how it affects your coaching environment. Is your approach favoring a healthy environment for the athletes, or is it clashing and creating an unstable training environment for your athletes? Athletes are different. The same are coaches. Because they are different, you can’t mass-produce training. You have to be aware of your own and your athletes’ strengths and weaknesses and how it affects your common goals.

Format

It will be a mix of presentation, workshops and dialogue so you’re expected to participate actively.

SUP CONDITIONING – how to prevent and deal with most common SUP injuries (friday 2nd, 1 PM – 5 PM)

Sooner or later most athletes will face the diversity of dealing with injuries. In the sport of SUP, we are experiencing athletes dealing with many of the same type of injuries and often athletes aren’t thinking about injuries before they happen.  Therefore this topic will focus on both the prevention of injuries and rehabilitation post-injury. With this topic  we hope to give SUP coaches a better understanding of the mechanisms that are at play when it comes to both prevention and rehabilitation

Among other subjects, it will touch on:

• A better understanding of the most common SUP related injuries: how to prevent and deal with them
• Conditioning to help prevent most common injuries related to SUP
• How to incorporate injury prevention into athletes training regime
• How do you best support your athletes through an injury process
• Helping your athletes structure a proper plan for rehabilitation
• What mental mechanisms are at play, when athletes go through a rehabilitation process?

It will be a mix of presentation, workshops and dialogue, so you’re expected to participate actively.
